Crisis Averted

My 2017 was leaking oil!

So I checked the Fumoto Valve, nope.

Crawling around under the car showed the leak was further forward. My concern was a seal had failed after only 22K miles.

It was down a quart so I went to put in one and I found the source. On my last oil change I must not have tightened the filter tight enough. That is a relief. I will need to be more mindful in the future.

But what is this? Since I was snooping around, I also found a mouse nest. Good thing I noticed the leak or I might have missed the mouse. I didn't see anything chewed, and the fluff didn't contain any poop droppings, so it must have been recent.

Time to clean up the oil mess in the engine bay. Time to get out the traps.
